Well I have made through the mid point of my wee staycation. The problem with being a road warrior is that the instant you stop traveling, you get sick. Of course the only time I cease traveling is when I am on holiday and yes you can guess how this one started out.

Though my grand plans of snowboarding and biking have been mostly thwarted, it has been a good time. On Sunday, Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Greens (my wiffle field) hosted the season opener for LowBall.

Good times for sure.

Finally something original from the Laudromat.

While Isa and I were kicking it to the dump, we saw the holy grail of roadside debris, "the free bike". Now the free bike typically comes complete with piles of rust, a non pink exterior, and a host of other issues. Obviously the second is a near deal breaker for a 3 year old. There was some work to be completed. We stripped the bike completely down.

Painted the main components pink, obviously.

Scrubbed the remaining pieces until no rust or dirt could be found.

Put it together in a mere 13 attempts, chipped some of the fresh paint off, and holy cow a new-ish bike. Thrifty is the new black, get some.

Looks like another banger day and the trees are starting to green, only 4 days of staycation left.
